The U.S. Government is keen to form housing plans. The U.S. House last week passed a bill authorizing the Labor Department to spend $50,000,000 upon workmen's homes at war manufacturing centres, the U.S. Congress had already authorized the expenditure by the Emergency Fleet Corporation of $50,000,000 at private yards, and the Corporation has $10,000,000 of previously allotted funds which it is spending upon housing at Government yards. A total of well over a hundred millions is thus made available for emergency housing; and it must be remembered that this supplements a good deal of private endeavor, and some by cities like Cleveland and Wilmington.
